V/A: The Romford Stompers/Mary And Ken 7″

I know I know it sounds exactly like the Pistols has entered the grooves for a few seconds. But then! Yeah then we’re up for some catchy killer UK punk. Soooo catchy it hurts. If you won’t be humming to Dead Girls for a couple of hours after spinning you got no sense for how a great melody is made. You need a chord or three and a good idea to wrap around them and you’re there. Sounds easy but harder to execute. If Romford Stompers did anything else then this I don’t know. Please tell me that’s so. The flip with Mary And Ken ain’t something for the punk purist. Here we’re offered a silly and annoying synth song. I like it. And this is what makes old comps and splits more enjoyable then many new records: the mix! Punks and Synths unite and fight against the system!
